SMILING CLOUDS.

I remember the rose flower

We planted on Lovers' day

And your promise that no power

Will ever take you away

I remember the happy moments

All those pictures

Yes, I remember

And these memories are haunting me

I just saw a couple holding hands

Looking so brand new

And I thought what it would be like

If it were me and you

But you ruined it

Poured sand into our garri

You smothered our infant love

My feelings went up in smoke

As your jealous fire raged

You told me you love me

Love was blind, I couldn't see

I believed the words you spoke

And then my heart you broke

Now you are banging at my door

You are asking for more

But the locks have been changed

And the room you just vacated

Is now more than an empty space

I have decided to format

All our memories

I have decided to start

Afresh, bury my worries

I have decided to forget 

Everything you once told me

I have decided to break free

And embrace the new version of myself

The clouds smile as I paint the sun

On a new canvas
